OK, my son and I tried our best, but conditions are way too cold to make snow sculptures right now. Even though sun has been shining, the snow under the surface is like BBs. So we came up with this entry (after a lot of thought )



It's a rare, cold to cool-growing Phalenopsis. And a NOID besides! You'd think a plant as rare as this one would come with a tag, eh? Gives new meaning to term "Snow Orchid".

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Very pretty! I like the contrast of the white orchids against the snow crystals.

That's not a NOID - It's a Psuedo-Phal. I Cheated At Making a Snow Orchid 'Ross' ...
I'm familiar with the cultivator ..
Good try

Now, Ross, I call that very creative thinking! I think it deserves a tolumnia!
